Responsibilities:
Day-time Library Services Worker is a work-study employee who works a
four-hour block of time weekdays any time between 9 AM and 5 PM. Upon
arriving, the Day-Time Worker on Monday will begin by reading the shelves
in the Reference Section of the Reading Room. See above in the description
of the duties for the Evening Shelving Worker what "reading the shelves"
means. The Worker on Tuesday will "read the shelves" in the section with
books whose alpha-numeric label begins with the letters BX (dogmatic and
moral theology, canon law). The Worker on Wednesday will "read the
shelves" with books marked C to Z. After reading the shelves, the Day-time
Worker must check in with Stella Wilkins to see what other tasks are
required that day. Sometimes you will be asked to push a cart of library
materials over to the Cataloging Department of the Walsh Library or bring
a cart over to that same department so as to pick-up and bring back to the
Seminary Library materials that have been catalogued for us, such as new
books. Sometimes you will be asked to stamp with the seminary library's
official stamp any new books that we have received. Or you might be asked
to rearrange a cart of new books according to their Library of Congress
Classification number. Sometimes you will be asked to sit at the
circulation desk and monitor who is admitted to the library, help library
patrons with the checking in or out of library materials, collect fines
for materials that are returned beyond their due date, or send over-due
notices. If, while you are staffing the circulation desk, a library patron
has difficulties with one of our computers, please bring this to the
attention of Library Assistant Andrew Brenycz in the Staff Office. Mr.
Brenycz is the library's computer expert and has supervision of all our
library computers. A Day-time Worker who is well acquainted with our
library's resources and has research skills might presume to assist or be
called upon to assist a patron who is not familiar with the location of
materials in our library or a patron who is having difficulty researching
a topic. Otherwise, the experts in these areas is our librarian, Stella
Wilkins.
